The EJN works in co-operation with its supporters to advance education and as an information exchange supporting activities which are aimed at promoting dialogue and awareness of different points of view on the issues within the journalism industry;

The EJN consults with its support organisations on the governance of the EJN, including the selection of members for the Board of Trustees;
